The Quiet Feather Issue 6 - January 2006
The latest issue of The Quiet Feather floated gently out of the printers in the first few days of the New Year. It is a lovingly put together magazine, the contents reflecting the electic tastes of the editors that have organisied the diverse range of poetry, artwork, prose, comics and essays with a delicate touch that allows each piece to do its own thing - including two graphic poems by Nathan Penlington: 'Unpredictive' and 'Love/Hate poem'.
And you get all this for only £2.50. How do they do it? I don't know. I'm just glad that someone does.

Publications:
Coming soon!!!
Watch this space for some exciting news about the latest publication by Nathan Penlington available in the next few months.
Now Available:
71% inflated ego/29% somebody else (2004)
This publication turns the conventions of poetry upside down: a fusion of graphic design and poetry, by turns thought provoking and playful. Some have said "I don't know what is post post modern but whatever it is Nathan is doing it" while others have described it to be "poetic pornography for graphic designers". But however you want to describe the book, it is refreashing, contemporary and unlike anything you have seen before:
"Penlington is borrowing the poetry of the language of computer games, drawing the language of Worms™, Micro Machines™ and Tekken™ 3 into the poetic. It is a demolition of poetry of a poetry that had, as its focus, a subject projecting observations of a totally understandable world and from the rubble of this structure raises a new form". (Litmus magazine)
Reprint produced in limited edition of 83 - 71% covered in vermilion translucent paper, 29% in fisheye transparent film and silver translucent paper. This edition contains additional poems not included in the original 2001 version. All copies signed and numbered. Silver edition contains additional elements. Price £5 / £7 post and packing paid.
